Fancy a spin in the V8 passenger seat?
How would you like send someone you know hurtling around the track with a motoring superstar?
Franklin County News and Sports Media NZ are giving one reader the chance to experience three heart-stopping laps around Pukekohe Racetrack on August 29 as part of the lead-up to the ITM Auckland Supersprints.
Just write to us, explaining in 150 words or less why you or someone you know deserves to be in the passenger seat.
Perhaps you know of an unsung hero in the community? Or maybe an unfortunate series of events has struck a loved one?
Tell us their tale by emailing james.baker@stuff.co.nz and along with a phone number and all necessary contact information.
The winner will get a choice between hurtling around the track in a Commodore VXR with Greg Murphy, or if they're a Ford fan, they can choose to tear across the tarmac in a Ford Mustang with Paul Radisich.
All nominees must be over 18.
The winner will be chosen by Franklin County News, but details won't be revealed for publication without permission.
After they've hit the track, they will also take part in a meet and greet with Scott McLaughlin and Fabian Coulthard over lunch.
Just make sure they bring a strong stomach.
Entries close August 22.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.8% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
